A health economics evaluation of different radon intervention strategies was undertaken including the incorporation of prevention into new buildings, the incorporation of potential remedial measures into new buildings and remediation of existing buildings. The analysis shows that (1) the incorporation of prevention into new houses at the time of construction is generally more cost effective than remediation of existing houses and (2) that the cost effectiveness of programmes aimed at encouraging householders to test and remediate their houses may be poor if they are not undertaken within the context of coherent radon reduction strategy. The results of this evaluation were used to identify the most cost-effective radon interventions in an Irish context in support of the development of a National Radon Control Strategy.
对不同的氡干预策略进行了卫生经济学评估，包括将预防措施纳入新建建筑、将潜在的补救措施纳入新建建筑以及对现有建筑进行补救。分析表明：（1）在新建房屋时纳入预防措施通常比补救现有房屋更具成本效益；（2）如果旨在鼓励住户检测和补救其房屋的计划不是在连贯的氡减排战略背景下实施，其成本效益可能较差。该评估结果用于确定爱尔兰背景下最具成本效益的氡干预措施，以支持制定国家氡控制战略。
